Chapter 88 She's not cheating on anyone, what's there to be afraid of?
Wei Chizheng?
Why is he here too?
Wei Chizheng's steps finally stopped beside Pei Jingchuan. It turned out that he had come for Pei Jingchuan, so he was the customer Pei Jingchuan had mentioned.
Wei Chizheng's deep eyes swept over Xie Nanzhi before turning to talk to Pei Jingchuan.
"So this is where President Pei is. I've been looking for you." As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently fell on Xie Nanzhi. "President Pei, won't you introduce me?"
Pei Jingchuan had his hands in his pockets, and whenever Xie Nanzhi was involved, he couldn't stop smiling. "This is my wife."
Wei Chi raised an eyebrow, looking at Xie Nanzhi with interest, his expression ambiguous, "Mrs.? Mrs. Pei?"
The next second, Xie Nanzhi's face darkened, and her tone was full of impatience, "I have no relationship with President Pei. I am not his wife."
Wei Chi's interest grew even stronger, but no amount of laughter could hide the coldness in his eyes. "President Pei? This beautiful lady doesn't admit to being your wife. President Pei is probably just being presumptuous."
For some reason, Pei Jingchuan vaguely sensed a chilling aura. He scrutinized Wei Chizheng and said, "She is indeed my wife. It's just that we had a little argument, and I haven't been able to appease her yet."
Wei Chizheng said, "Oh? So the nurse that President Pei brought out before was your mistress? I must say, she does look about 70% like this lady."
Immediately, Pei Jingchuan frowned, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his face turned ashen.
Pei Jingchuan gritted his teeth. "Mr. Wei is joking. That woman is just a crisis management expert. I don't have any other women besides my wife."
Xie Nanzhi has gone from being surprised at the beginning to having a more normal attitude now.
She didn't know what Wei Chizheng was thinking; in short, she just treated it as a joke.
Xi Bei was completely exasperated and couldn't help but point at Pei Jingchuan, yelling, "Pei Jingchuan, can't you have any shame? Who's your wife? You, a stud, don't even deserve her! You're only good enough for those fakes and trash. Don't try to attach yourself to our Nan Zhi. Our Nan Zhi is single, single, single! I'll say it three times, understand?"
Xi Bei rolled her eyes and inadvertently caught sight of Wei Chizheng.
Then, his intense gaze fell on Xie Nanzhi. It was so direct that Xibei would never believe he had no feelings for her.
But doesn't this person know Nanzhi?
Why is he pretending not to know him? It seems Nanzhi doesn't intend to expose him.
I really don't understand.
Pei Jingchuan's face darkened even more. He remained silent for a while, and was about to explain when Wei Chizheng said impatiently, "President Pei, if you're planning to reminisce, then I won't keep you company. After all, my time is very precious."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jingchuan said reluctantly, "Nanzhi, you go ahead with your work. I'll come find you again when I have time."
After saying that, Pei Jingchuan turned and left.
After the two walked away, Xibei's gossipy nature kicked in, and she pulled Xie Nanzhi aside to ask all sorts of questions, "Don't you and Wei Chizheng know each other? How come you're putting on this act together?"
Xie Nanzhi drank a cup of liquor absentmindedly, "You said it yourself, we only know each other but aren't close, so it's practically the same as not knowing each other at all."
Xibei, "..."
Zhou Mubin was utterly impressed, saying, "Perfect logic, I'm convinced."
Xie Nanzhi watched the direction Wei Chizheng had gone and fell into deep thought.
Wei Chizheng and Pei Jingchuan had a grudge, but at least this time, she didn't notice anything unusual.
Wei Chizheng knows too much about her; if he were to reveal even a tiny bit to Pei Jingchuan, she would fail miserably.
Xie Nanzhi felt a little anxious, so she poured herself another whole glass and drank it down in one gulp without even realizing it.
It all went down her throat, and the spicy liquor flowed through her stomach before Xie Nanzhi finally realized what was happening.
They were drinking alcohol, not water.
Then, Xie Nanzhi stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
On the other side, Wei Chizheng and Pei Jingchuan also sat down.
The two men exuded powerful auras, but Wei Chizheng was clearly superior. He sat calmly in the wooden chair and said, "I can't drink alcohol lately, so Mr. Pei, just order a pot of tea."
Pei Jingchuan crossed his arms on his thighs and looked forcefully at Wei Chizheng, "Mr. Wei, were you deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of my wife just now?"
Mrs?
For the first time, Wei Chizheng found the word jarring.
With a slight, flippant brow, Wei Chizheng's lips curved into a smile. "President Pei, why would I do this?"
Yes, why would he do that?
Pei Jingchuan couldn't find a reason for it at the moment.
Then, Pei Jingchuan smiled and said, "Just kidding. After all, my wife is just too outstanding. Too many men have their eyes on her. I thought Mr. Wei might also have some other thoughts about my wife."
What seemed like a casual remark was actually Pei Jingchuan observing Wei Chizheng's expression.
Fortunately, nothing seemed amiss.
But the next second, Wei Chizheng chuckled, "If I wanted a woman, Mr. Pei, do you think anyone could be my match?"
Pei Jingchuan became wary, his smile freezing.
What's the meaning?
Was he trying to tell him that if he really had other feelings for Xie Nanzhi, he wouldn't bother to slander him?
Pei Jingchuan lowered his eyes and said seriously, "I hope Mr. Wei and I will never become enemies."
...
Xie Nanzhi stayed in the restroom for a few minutes, hesitating whether to meet with Wei Chizheng alone to find out what was going on.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
She has worked hard to get to where she is today, and there is no room for any mistakes.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Nanzhi turned off the tap and walked out of the bathroom. Just as she was about to turn the corner, she looked up and saw Wei Chizheng leaning against the glass wall with a cigarette in one hand.
Wei Chizheng's cold lips curled up slightly the moment he saw Xie Nanzhi. He straightened up and strode towards her.
Xie Nanzhi didn't move until Wei Chizheng stood directly in front of her. She raised her head and asked, "Mr. Wei, did you come all this way to wait for me?"
Wei Chizheng lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I thought I had made it quite obvious."
Xie Nanzhi joked, "Aren't you afraid people will find out we know each other?"
Wei Chizheng joked, "You're not having an affair behind anyone's back, what are you afraid of?"
When Xie Nanzhi saw Wei Chizheng and Pei Jingchuan appear together, she had many suspicions. But when she saw Wei Chizheng appear in front of her, it seemed that no explanation was needed and all her concerns were dispelled.
Xie Nanzhi casually remarked, "So Mr. Wei is most afraid of being caught having an affair. I thought you weren't afraid of anything."
The two were so close, and Wei Chizheng's eyes were filled with tenderness. "Everyone has weaknesses, and I'm no exception."
Xie Nanzhi, "Tell me about it?"
Wei Chi lowered his back, closing the distance between them, as if the tip of his nose had inadvertently touched her brow. "If we can meet again in a year, I'll tell you. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
An ambiguous atmosphere flowed between the two.
Xie Nanzhi looked into his eyes, which were so close to hers, and felt an indescribable melancholy in them that made her heart ache.
Just as she was lost in thought, Wei Chizheng was suddenly bumped by a drunk man passing by, and his body lurched forward uncontrollably.
The cool lips landed unexpectedly on her lips.
